Description

Choice Red and Brown Proof 1856 Large Cent

1856 1C PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. N-5, Low R.5. A proof-only
Newcomb variety noted for a tiny die lump on the N in UNITED and a
series of faint, nearly vertical die lines near the Y in LIBERTY.
The stars and denticles are razor-sharp, as befits a proof, and the
fields are moderately reflective, especially on the predominantly
Red obverse. A couple of small spots on the portrait do not
distract. Population: 10 in 64 Red and Brown, 4 finer (2/04).From the Eric A. Kreuter Collection. (#1998) (NGC ID# 2274, PCGS# 1998)
